So easy and so delicious it was like a dinner you'd order out! I paired it with some steak. The only thing I'd say is that the rice takes a while so do it way before you plan on making this.

Really tasty! I used vegetarian sausage (simply cut up the sausage links) and substituted Quinoia for the rice. Although presentation is a great idea, my family does not appreciate it, so I opted not to stuff the Bell Peppers, which made it easier and cut off time, prep work and an extra dish. So instead of stuffing them, I cut them up and sauted them along with the onions and sausage.
Once I got to the recipe where everything was blended together in the pan, I simply left it in the oven safe pan, added the cheese on top and covered it with foil as the recipe stated - not sure if I could have covered it with a lid, or not covered it at all....but it worked with the foil.
I reduced the time to 20 min then removed the foil and cooked another 10 min as recommended in the recipe for the cheese to melt. In reality, since everything was cooked, I think we could have eaten it before it was put in the oven - but I think giving time for the flavors to blend together a little bit was a good idea. Some may choose to leave it in longer, but it was great with the 30 min total oven time.
I served it in pasta bowls, with a little cheese and fresh cilantro on top - which gave the dish a decent presentation at least enough for my family :-) Delicious!!! Liked by all! Definitely will make again.

I really enjoyed this meal. I added in some mince and a hotter chilli.
I thought it worked well but you’ll need to use your own discretion with some of the cooking times.

Yummy! I followed the suggestion of another person's comment and made it into a casserole. I doubled all the ingredients, sauteed the peppers and onion for twice as long, and baked it in a 9x13 casserole dish for approximately 30 minutes. It turned out really well. It was a tad spicy due to the green chilies and my substitution of chipotle chili powder in place of regular chili powder. I also added smoked shredded pork and extra cheese to each individual serving, and froze some of the servings for later use. They tasted very good even after being frozen. Last comment: I used short grain brown rice because I think it has a better texture & flavor compared to regular long grain brown rice. I find it's least expensive to buy in the bulk bin at WinCo. 🙂 Happy cooking!

Great flavor. Next time I would add a little more spice.

Peppers may have been too large to get soft. Will try smaller ones next time. My 11 and 13 year old approved!

The bell peppers were soggy but the filling was good.

Great!!!! We used jalapenos instead of the canned green chilis. Added a nice kick to it :)

I ended up doing this as a "deconstructed stuffed pepper casserole " because when I first saw the recipe, I had 2 small narrow red peppers, not 4 big ines to stuff. But no worries. I doubked the ingredients and put it in a 9x13 pan. Part was served alongside a slow cooker Cuban style pork roast. The rest was portioned and frozen or refrigerated for ready in an instant burritos or for stuffing into, you know, actually full sized bell peppers. Or maybe I will add some chorizo or pulled pork and serve the glorious mess over spaghetti squash. At any rate, very tasty and obviously very versatile.

I did not realize it was meatless. For the start i did not add all the spices. I added a taco pack. After I sound out it was meatless I cooked the meet added chili powder, cumin, garlic, and onion powder. I of course had extra stuffing but it came out great. Family loved it.
